No, I mean the file content.dtd which is located in the omni.ja file in your current programme folder of New Moon 28. However, not the omni.ja in the main folder but the one in the subfolder browser. You only have to extract it then. The omni.ja is an archive file which can be extracted by 7-Zip, for example. After extracting, you will find the file content.dtd in the subfolder /chrome/en-US/locale/browser/preferences. Hope I could help you. :)

The content.dtd file was not the culprit here. :unsure:

I had to modify colors.dtd.

(the translated strings are the same as in official Pale Moon)

Now it's functional again. :)

Feel free to add it to your alphabetical list of all posted extensions.

The link is the same as in my previous post about the updated privacy.dtd.

TBH, it was a long time ago when I corrected this issue. It may well be that I had also corrected entries in the colors.dtd file at that time. And the issue is related to the Colors dialogue, of course. But I definitely know (I had briefly checked before replying) that I added for example the entities I already mentioned in the content.dtd file. But maybe that wasn't the cause of the Colors problem, but of a previous problem. I compare and correct, but I don't document every single step. smilie_denk_24.gif In any case, the most important thing is that all errors are found, and the language pack works again. And now, you at least know where to look. Anyway! I'm glad you were able to correct the Dutch language pack. :)

In my case, Serpent 52 didn't lock up after I logged in to Facebook. However, it did get slowed down (no wonder since Facebook is a very heavy platform as you said), but it never locked up, nor it closed itself.

Same thing happens when using Twitter or hotmail, the ui slows down and eventually becomes unusable. Interestingly, firefox 52esr does not have this problem so it's likely  a code update in pale moon/uxp. Guess it's a tradeoff to modernizing the browser and making it more accessible.

All that said, I still believe that making it a hassle to sign out and back in was a motivating factor behind Github's decision to require what I call "burdensome" 2FA.

More and more sites are requiring this, even Walmart just recently started forcing it and it's a real pain. Banks I could see maybe for the extra security but for the rest of them it just seems like overkill.

Hey there man, welcome back after a month of inactivity :)

Yeah, both X* and Hotmail are also unfortunately slow, but that doesn't surprise me anymore, to be honest.

For X especially, I believe this is the reason:

Thanks, been very busy lately.

1500+ events and that was two years ago, probably even more now. The problem for me is that it can be an addicting site at times, especially if I'm surfing an interesting topic. 

Hotmail even with brief use will slow things down considerably so I'm not sure what the problem is there. The easiest solution is to create another profile and go into that for those sites or if you've got enough ram use e10s, that seems to resolve the issue.

My VM has only 2 GB of RAM, unfortunately I can't risk using a lot of RAM (multiprocess mode, I prefer single-process mode!) just to use Hotmail. :P And I use Gmail as my email service anyway.

As with hotmail can be used with thunderbird too. I've got a lot of older accounts set up with hotmail and it's too much work to transfer them to yahoo or gmail. The problem is the hotmail site doesn't always filter properly so I'm forced to go to the site on occasion. I don't dare subscribe to the spam folder given the 50+ more a day I get. Microsoft has always been so reliable...

Got a mail from a chinese language pack modder and he said that he can't get rid of missing strings error in console from modding from PM28 official language pack with a screenshot: (he doesn't attach his xpi to me for reference/debug)

I'm no clue what he was hitting.

(P.S.: just noticed that no new registration is available here now)

Since I'm the one who raised the issue, I'll perform the test, although it appears @tvholic already tried without success. But maybe I can shed more light on the issue. Edit: Looks like the same message as before:

Quote

Timestamp: 10/22/2023 1:54:25 PM
Error: DataCloneError: The object could not be cloned.
Source File: https://static.chasecdn.com/web/library/@webchan/cxo-host-app/1.15.43/33.d848b99ac7fbd9417767.js
Line: 1

Those fixes didn't seem to cause any harm, although they didn't fix the Chase issue. So they still may be worth including in the next release. OTOH, they may complicate things if upstream actually does fix the Chase issue at some point.

then next possible one could be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1556604 but this one seems not easy to be ported to our tree.

Do you guys have anything special in the about window in New Moon/Serpent if you wait a bit? Also, it should be checked before 31th October is over, unless you change the date. Upstream has put little something related to Halloween in Pale Moon's about window.
